Well, if the process is being hard-killed without an opportunity to run through proc_exit(), then yes it is going to still show up in pg_stat_activity. It's pgstat_beshutdown_hook that removes that entry. The problem here is that we need to be able to distinguish a task manager kill from a voluntary exit(1). Have M$ really been stupid enough to make an external kill look just like an exit() call? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
